Drum Corps is one of the few things on this planet that can put you through hell, and make you want to come back and do it again and again, even when you're not allowed to anymore.
In my experience 90% of drum corps sucks. Rehearsal, every-days, impossible licks, ankle-breaking drill, 178 degree weather, paired with the dreaded phrase, "Again."
The other 10% makes it all worth it. Performing, crowds going wild, putting everything you have into that last performance. It's truly remarkable.
anyways that's my 2 cents.
